My nintendo thoughts and discussion thread.

I just noticed something strange about the usage of platinum points.


Miitomo let you purchase My Nintendo rewards that pertains to the software. No other rewards shown from My Nintendo webpage would appear.

Instead of using your entire platinum points balance, Miitomo only use those that are accumulated from the software. Any platinum point claimed outside of that software won't be used.

Thank you so much for letting me know this exists!

Just dropped my coins on Warioware! I recommend you guys take a look at the expiration dates on each reward, they're different for each. For example, the Wario game is set to expire on July 1st while the Picross game isn't scheduled to expire until October 1st.

Seems like a good idea to buy the rewards expiring sooner, if you're planning to get as much as possible without missing out on something. Also, the themes expire on May 1st, so maybe expect new themes on a monthly basis?

If people stay active in Miitomo, it takes about 3 weeks to save up for one of the 1k rewards, paired with the weekly eShop and Miiverse log-in. It's pretty easy to get the 1k Platinum rewards.

I assume Pokemon GO will also add a bunch of ways to gain points, making it even easier.

Just realized I have an email from Nintendo giving me 200 coins due to being a member before!! Awesome!!

At 1050 coins and I will now be getting Warioware Touched!

Really happy for this because it's the first DS game that can be digitally downloaded on 3DS!

Kind of wish it launched with physical rewards like Club Nintendo, but whatever, I'll give it time. Ironically, I went from My Nintendo to Club Nintendo to My Nintendo (same name again?). It's true, look up there was a registration program with the GameCube and Game Boy Advance called My Nintendo in North America, and those who had accounts were merged into Club Nintendo. What's more, if you had certain amount of games registered (you really got nothing for doing so), you got a cool letter and "poster" (kind of a picture really) from Reggie thanking you for taking the time to register so much content. Yes, I got one, and so I went from My Nintendo to Club Nintendo to My Nintendo- they couldn't come up with a different name??

Looks like I've discovered something else worth mentioning about daily and weekly missions.

According to My Nintendo FAQ, daily missions will reset at every midnight based on the time zone you set. As for the weekly missions, they reset on every Monday at midnight.


I also finally exchanged my platinum points for that Twilight Princess Picross game, which is a pretty addictive game despite its very simplistic premise. I already own WarioWare: Touched! in form of DS Game Card, as well of the discounted games. The time-limited Miitomo costume and exclusive 3DS themes aren't catching my interest, especially when the next set of platinum discounts might potentially worth spending those points for. Gotta save those precious platinum points for now.

I try to login with my Club Nintendo account, and now I just get the message "The email address you have entered is already registered. Registration cannot be completed." Anyone else had the same problem and resolved it? I did sign up for the Miitomo thing a few months back, and I followed the email link to login and redeem the points.

 

[bloomwaker]

I've never seen that happen, sorry. ;; Contact Nintendo, maybe?
I used my NNID to sign up for a My.Nintendo account.

These things accumulate more quickly than I expected.

Heads up that games on sale give you the gold points for the full price of the game. There's currently a big sale going on the eShop right now which makes for a great opportunity to abuse this. Grabbed Ducktales for $5 with 20 points!

Neat. If I see games on sale that I want I'll definitely take advantage of this.
I just hope it won't be a game that I regret buying digital like Bravely Default.

Haven't checked it out yet but seems they actually doing it more 'world-wide' this time since you can get it in Sweden too. I guess that's why they don't have physical gifts and stuff, I don't know why we never had it official here.

Might give it a hoop someday, dunno.

Bill Trinen did say that physical rewards are something that they're working on. That's NOA, but I imagine that if NOA is working on it, then the other regions are as well. I just hope that all European countries get it, instead of some getting shafted like they were with Club Nintendo.

My Nintendo account won't link up to my NNID.

It says:

This account could not be linked.

The country of residence registered with this Nintendo Account does not match the country registered with the Nintendo Network ID.
Please try again using a Nintendo Network ID whose country matches that registered with this Nintendo Account

Both the accounts are associated with United States so I don't know what they are talking about.

If anyone knows what's up please let me know.

Pretty sure that the issue itself can be resolved if you wait for a bit before attempting to link your NNID again.
Also, make sure that both timezones of your NNID and Nintendo Account matches with each other.



There is indeed another weekly mission that My Nintendo never mentioned. If you browse the official Nintendo website of your region while being logged in with your Nintendo Account, 30 platinum points will be automatically to your tally.
With that, along with visiting eShop, Miiverse and My Nintendo, you'll receive up to 120 platinum points per week. And all that without ever using Miitomo.

I have a question.
Can Miitomo coins/ points also be used to redeem rewards such as, "My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess"? ^^

Yes. Miitomo points can be used for Platinum rewards.

Both Miitomo points and regular platinum points are combined when you redeem with any reward that costs platinum coins, provided you access to said reward via My Nintendo.
For example, I have 200 Miitomo points and 800 platinum points. Add both of them and I get 1000 platinum points in total.

 

[Orieii]

Thanks you guys so much for answering my question I was really confused at first!
So I guess it is best for me to create a Miitomo account which I can use to collect more points :0

It's nice, but I feel that in some areas it is a step down from Club Nintendo.

This article summarizes my feelings nicely http://nintendoenthusiast.com/article/double-take-why-my-nintendo-is-a-step-down-from-club-nintendo/

He did? Could be a neat idea as long as they actually make it work world-wide with somewhat similar merchandise if such... otherwise I assume people will complain with the rewards being too exclusive and it will probably explode in some way.

So do I... I hate that Sweden were left out because I kept getting those pin code things with my games and it was really annoying. I think they actually had their own Swedish thing way way back that served as their club nintendo or something, I knew they had a forum at least.

All in all I hope they learn from their 'mistakes'...
